How’s D-line recruiting for ND in 2021? Any guys who are leans? How is ND looking for guys like Tywone Malone, Cade Denhoff, George Rooks, Landon Jackson and Cooper Jones? — Alfarouq1

EJ: I would say Notre Dame is in a very good spot with George Rooks. The Irish made a big impression on his visit this offseason and may be the team to beat at this time. While Notre Dame hosted Tywone Malone, the Irish still have some work to do. I would give Michigan the edge in that recruitment. Notre Dame is on the outside looking in for Jackson and hasn’t offered Jones. I’ll default to Mike on Denhoff.

Mike: Cade Denhoff is a huge priority for Notre Dame in the 2021 class. This is a guy who about a month before landed an offer from the Irish I was told was held in very high regard by the Notre Dame coaching staff. Unfortunately, just about every big time program in the Southeast, especially in Florida, has offered Denhoff as well, but Notre Dame should still be considered a favorite for him along with Clemson, Florida, and Florida State.

I see Rocco Spindler is visiting in October. Any chance we get Garrett Dellinger in too? What are your thoughts on landing one or both? — IowaIrish1
